Product Information:

Paulownia is known in Japanese as Kiri and is referred to as the “princess tree.” In Japan it is customary to plant a Paulownia tree when a baby girl is born and then to make it into a dresser as a wedding present when she is married.

Very light, fine-grained, soft and warp-resistant, Paulownia is used for chests, boxes and clogs. Its low silica content reduces dulling of blades, making it a preferred wood for boxes to hold fine Japanese edge tools. The wood is burned to make charcoal for sketching and powder for fireworks. In the US, the wood is mostly used for water and snow sports products. It is a great carving wood and a substitute for balsa wood. Native to Japan and Korea.

Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.

Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.

Thin Stock. The thin stock is cut to size from quality, kiln-dried stock. Dimensions are +/- 1/8" of size listed.
